- A real-world semester group project with formal student presentations in front of corporate representatives
Learning assessments embedded in course activities:
- Optional qualitative Excel learning feedback from instructor offered within 12 hours of end of each class session
- Growth in group collaboration through continuous self-assessment via qualitative peer evaluation and instructor’s feedback using the CATME platform
Corporate partnership:
- One-week long workshop held by corporate partners every semester, in the classroom
- Emphasis on discounted cash flow modeling, speed in Excel modeling, and sensitivity analyses.
- Networking opportunity
- Corporate partners’ feedback to instructor influences curriculum changes for subsequent semesters
Excel accessibility (in progress):
- Design of accessibility requirement templates for course Excel content
- Design of a standard method to achieve accessibility in Excel content
- Testing of level of accessibility (in collaboration with RCPD)
- Implementation of method to course content
- Target completion date: Fall 2020
Course management platform
